Technology and Combat Characteristics

The Dogosse Giar-class is one the largest warships used during the Universal Century. In terms of length alone the ship was only second to those of the Jupitris-class, which were helium-3 carrier ships, and were considerably longer then the massive Dolos-class used by the Principality of Zeon during the One Year War. The warship was the largest fielded by the Earth Federation and sported the highest number of weapons and mobile suit carrying capacity of any Earth Federation warship.

History

The Dogosse Giar (also mistakenly referred to as "Dogos Gear" and the transliterated "Dogosgere") was a command vessel utilized by the Titans during the Gryps Conflict. Resembling the Federation's failed Birmingham-class battleship, the Dogosse Giar had five main beam turrets, anti-aircraft defense, and (unlike its predecessor) a large mobile suit contingent. The vessel initially served as a flagship under Paptimus Scirocco during Operation Apollo. Suspicious of Scirocco's activities late in the war, Jamitov Hymen had command transferred to Colonel Bask Om, who used the ship as an escort for the colony laser and later to conduct Cyber-Newtype research. Shortly after Operation Maelstrom, the Dogosse Giar was attacked and destroyed by the forces of Paptimus Scirocco in his successful bid to seize full control over the Titans. Originally four ships were meant to be constructed, but with the collapse of the Titans in U.C. 0088, only one ship remained.
